Only texas stop I have seen so far is a Classic Chevy in Grapevine TX. Outside of Dallas in Oct. Disappointed there's nothing closer to Houston.

Looks like a great day to head top Classic. Hopefully they'll let people really inspect iot and its not roped off. Thanks for the clarification. I missed that one.

If anybody can get confirmation that we can sit in the cars I would greatly appreciate it, I am not driving from SATX for a roped off C8.
Thank you

Subbed. Can't imagine they would ignore the Houston market - just a measly 7 million people in the H-town metro area.

Oops, just saw the schedule for Classic Chevrolet in Sugarland. November seems a long time to wait.......

Grapevine is about 30 min from my home here in Dallas... Not that I am looking to purchase one, I would certainly drive over and check it out. Classic Chevrolet is a high volume dealer here in N. TX.. I can see why that dealership would be selected...

They were "selected" because they wrote the check to have the cars come to their dealership.

Yeah I'm in the Austin area and I wouldn't mind going down to Houston to sit in one. I'll have to contact the dealer before November to find out if we can sit in it.

Doubt you will be able to sit in them.... Better call and ask so you do not get your feeler hurt... That is my dealer used them ever since they opened up here. Would not leave cars on the floor open on the C7's at first either. imagine old fat guy takes 5 minutes to get in and 5 to get out and damages it!!!

No they will not be open to sit in. Only to look. This is a GM event run by GM people not the Dealer... Just be advised.

Don't like it contact GM it is their event.

At the car shows traveling around you can climb all over the cars, seems odd that they would not allow serious buyers to not sit in it for fitment reasons.
Saw where Kerbeck said no to sitting in it. Seems to be a stupid thing to do and they may lose some sales and also **** off a bunch of others.
But I guess when you get the tour to your store you can do as you wish but I would think Chevy would understand that sitting in the car is rather important.

I agree, what's the point of even going down there if you can't do an in depth inspection on the car? The kind that would give me confidence in dropping upwards of $70k on it? That means getting in it, playing with the controls opening the hatch etc...If all they are gonna do is let you look at it, roped off, from 10 feet away, then i'm not gonna bother. I can see it just fine on my computer at home.

I agree but GM controls this one. I have no contacts at GM maybe someone here does and can get a answer in writing. The car will be 10 minutes from me and I am not going if I cannot sit in it. The car I will be getting has not been announced yet but would love to sit in a base car anyway.

I just spoke with Toby a few minutes ago. He said October 26. At this point in time it looks like one day only. Call the dealer for tickets.

Edit : I did not see the post right above this one before I replied.
